Maybe Ill just call the frames major taylor, or worcester or something.. hmm has that been done before?
there are the soma 'major taylor' bars.
you could call the frame a "MARSHALL," which was his real name. the press gave him lots of quasi-racist nicknames ('major' was from his childhood), like "the dusky whirlwind" which can be made inoffensive through the removal of adjectives.
